So the level of interactivity determines how degenerate it is?
Witcher 3 had more than Triss, Yennifer. Writing off everyone else as 'side hoes' is lazy.
Besides, I'm talking about W3 porn, not the game. And there seems to be a ton of it, judging from all the ads that pop up on various movie sites.
My understanding is that you go somewhere else for sex. See the Drow scene, for example.
I think people were just reading too much into it. That or stuff got cut for dev time reasons.
Regardless, my point was that people shouldn't be posting porn and pretending it has anything to do with the game.

Eh, Fedora Master is someone that generally speaking gives strong "serial killer" vibes every other reply, but all things considered Bhaalbuddy comics are on the tame side of this shit.

I asked this (in HQ Chat heh) already but consider this:
What is the FUCKING POINT of customizing your genitals if the game WILL NOT show any in'n'out? Because even Larian aren't going to go for an X rating. This is the same retarded marketing bullshit CP77 did, where all the sex ended up with underwear on.

Everybody knows that arguing with internet randos over utterly inconsequential topics is one of the most addictive activities known to man.
People have put off food and sex for this, much less discussing something as niche as RPGs.

We're posting in a thread about Bear Sex 3. Even if I were looking up raunchy Shani x Triss porn, it'd be less shameful than what all of us have seen itt so far.

Person who animated this never touched a woman. Or kissed with "long tongue".

Here is a list of 10 reasons why Baldur's Gate 3 isn't worth playing. The numbers don't represent anything other than a way to organize them. I challenge you, if you read this list and find your blood pressure rising, ready to type out an angry response, to take a deep breath. Then when you are relaxed, type out your own list of 10 reasons why you think Baldur's Gate 3 is worth playing. Not a retort to this as much as you forming your own opinion, your own list as to why someone should play. I am of the belief that nobody will be able to come up with a convincing list of 10 reasons of their own.
1. Fanfic Writing - Sarcastic undertones to most conversations. Zoomer speak. If you don't mind spoilers, watch any video on youtube featuring cutscenes. There are plenty. The humour, the cringe, the zoomer speak, the petty arguments, it's terrible. Everything has this sarcastic undertone to it. Like how every character is trying to be witty, every dialogue choice is trying to show you the player how light hearted they are, how funny, and fun loving they are. Like if you watch any modern buffoons playing D&D. It's a social session, not in character roleplaying. It's like how each player is trying to one op the previous players joke. That's how this games dialogue is. Always trying to be the life of the party, but instead they just turn into the irritating class clown. The problem is, the clown, is you, the player.
2. Choice and consequence - your choices will be between the reddit teir faction or the twitter tier faction. The consequences will be having reddit like you or twitter like you. Go watch some videos. The choices that are available for you to make, almost without fail, are embarassing. Who gives a shit what the consequences of your actions are if there isn't a likeable faction, a likeable companion, a likeable NPC, a likeable outcome.
3. Companions - They are all garbage. You have a flamboyant vampire who likes bestiality..a black guy who needs his dick stroked to make his spells work. A rude lesbian who wants to make you her bitch. The white dude who represents weakness and frailty (of course). Some pignosed bitch for those of you to scared to take the bestiality plunge and prefer to keep it safe with a different kind of beast. A tiefling who talks like a valley girl (nick cage's favourite) A druid who likes to fuck people as a bear. A square jawed non binary drow. And two OG's so Larian can give them the modern treatment. If I forgot anyone, it's not my fault, as they all are shit.
4. Romance - It is featured heavily as being a core part of the game. Just take a look at their featured trailers. Don't want romance? You will need to wade through flirting and degeneracy often. Read above for your selection of romance options. It's embarassing, it's degenerate, without merit, and gets in the way. And fuck you if you are straight and white and male. You only get ugly shit because fuck you. Mod it if you dont like it is the new Larian motto. Ugly characters everywhere, because it's 2023, and resetera demands it.
5. Homosexuality - Having homosexuality be so prevelant in the game world is entirely unnecessary. It has no purpose other than to pander to degenerates. Homosexuality is more common than being straight in BG3. It is also the preferred method of procreation. I'll let you figure out how that works.
6. Zoophilia - They are attempting and succeeding in normalizing Zoophilia. It has no place in any game. It is not for laughs. The squirrel doesn't represent a comical moment. People tell themselves that because they like what they see so they argue "it was just a joke! see the squirrel dropped his nut". Ok that is kind of funny, but still. Normalzing zoophilia is the goal with that scene and the scenes you haven't had the displeasure of seeing yet. Wait and see you sick fucks. It's going to get much worse than that.
7. No Day / Night Cycle - Games have been doing this for many years. It adds to the immersion. It makes you aware of the passing of days. It provides different color schemes and feels to the same zones. It happens organically, not through a load screen or because you made camp and came back. It opens the opportunity up for seasons that pass as the days and weeks pass. There is no waiting until nightfall to commit evil deads. There is no excuse not to have a day / night cycle in a game purporting to be this ambitious.
8. Basic NPC AI - They have no schedules. They stand around, waiting... waiting for you to engage with them. No home to go to. No actual urgency to their days. The blacksmith never needs to go to the inn to get an ale. They don't need to go in when it rains. They don't need to shovel snow outside on their walkways. They might as well be statues. They have no lives, just like you.
9. Silent Protaginist - This by itself isn't a bad thing. But when done how Larian chose to do it, it becomes embarrassing. Watch any cutscene with the player character in it. It makes your character look foolish, standing their slack-jawed, nodding, while your tumblerina companions say the most inane shit. A smug look spreads across the players face at a time you wish your character was anything but smug. Your character standing their, mouth agape (just like your asshole from the bear) while you listen to to the twitter argument between your superiors. You will be a smug, sarcastic, mouth breathing fool, and like it.
10. The Players - There has never been a worse fanbase than this games fanbase. I find myself sickened at the blatant disregard for not people realizing and recognizing the issues listed above. I have seen people posting in this bloated thread, singing the praises of this game while at the same time posting in the gaming drama forums shitting all over other games that have done a lot less than this, and still, they are defending this game and all its issues. Its hypocritical. Lets not even talk about the reddit BG3 fans. I dare you to go over there and read the gushing. How about youtube comments? "Best game of the decade!" "Best RPG of all time!". What makes this the most sad, the most pathetic, is that the codex, the codex of all places, has just as fervent fans looking forward to the degeneracy, looking forward to the zoomer speak. I thought this would be a haven for talk about world design, deep dives into the lore, and of course the combat. What happens instead? Talks about homosexuality, blacks, , foot fetish (sorry jarl), mommy issues, pegging, cuckholdry, and of course zoophilia.
And remember guys, the next time you feel like giving shit to anyone about the games they like, after having spent 100 plus hours getting your asshole stretched out and filled up by a bear, after you stroke a black guy off while he berates you for slavery, after you get pegged by a square jawed lesbian who tells you what useless man you are, take a good cold hard look in the mirror.

A scene in GitS:SAC2 where the main villain reveals that his patsy terrorists all have one thing in common which he believes is necessary for a true believer in a cause like his: virginity.

I don't know anything about Baldur's Gate 3 (have been ignoring most discussion about it). As with all games, I will reserve my final judgement after I actually play it.
Other than that, the only thing that concerns me is Larian. I loved Divine Divinity back in the day, but found Divinity Original Sin games to be really not that good, mostly due to asinine writing and childish aesthetics and atmosphere. The gameplay wasn't that great either (too many gimmicks like combining elemental effects, slow animation in a turn based game with many party members, too many crates, etc), but if they had more mature writing and atmosphere, might have been ok.

I read your list. It is like the sum of all critique from this thread. The problem is there were many counterarguments for what you were written. I put shortened list:
- Not true. Just compare Baldur's Gate with Wrath of the Righteous, real Zoomer game. Larian was always humorous, even silly, but in own, Belgian way.
- There is a lot of reactivity, that makes this game so alive. Just look on YouTube how many variants has simple situation like conversation with Priestess Gut.
- That's not true (except Wyll). Astarion is annoying, but is also a coherent and properly included in story character. Gale is boring, but I say same about him. Shadowheart is simply good written character with a lot of reactions and very particular personality.
- You can pass it.
- you can pass it.
- You can pass it.
- Not important.
- This game is not simulation, but artificial, timeless reality. Very gamy, if you prefer.
- Never was a problem, now or 20 years ago.
- I can say many words about BG3 fans, but Bioware still has the worst.
I seen only first season. But yes, porners are very zealous virgins.

Niche game threads are where it’s at. The culture wars people and the degenerates (strange overlap there I've noticed) steer clear of those, for the most part. Or they actually engage in game conversation
